Topic: I had deep cuts and the same day got vaginal fluid on my hand (Read 13937 times)

Hi everyone, I'm glad there is such a place to discuss this information. Well last night I had great sex with a beautiful sex worker in Rosarito and everything was going well but two things happened. During sex we switched positions and when I pulled out I noticed there was cottege cheese on my penis I was wearing a condom and I asked her what it was I thought maybe the condom had broken so i took the condom off and checked and it wasnt broken. it but it was not my seamen either. so i put another one on and in the process of switching condoms I'm 100% that I got vaginal fluids on my hands and earlier that day I was fixing a blind and I cut my hand pretty deep and a few hours later i got the fluid on them. Is there a chance that I could get HIV? What about the cottege cheese? I was wearing a condom but can I still catch something(any STD) even while wearing a condom? I'm guessing I'm probably okay but just wanted to check with you guys on this.

At no time were you at risk of contracting HIV. HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions, therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

Hi everyone, I have used escorts recently one incident me and the escort were having protected sex and she kept on french kissing me and biting my lip I'm not %100 but she left a little mark on my lip there was some blood.

Incident number two happened today at a strip club, the girl was drunk and when she put the condom on me she might have put it on backwards and she left an air bubble on the tip and when I ejacualted inside her I pulled out and I saw a creamy white substance on the tip of my penis/condom and I think the condom might have ripped, I squeezed the tip and it didnt have much semen there was a little bit of fluid like a white bubble. I'm a little worried that the condom had a hole or it popped when I ejaculated is there a way to tell? Well I think It's a little late because the condom went in the trash, but when I squeezed the tip it looked like there was fluid insided the condom but who really knows because the outside had white sperm so I dont know? Can anyone give me a risk assestment? Should I get tested for HIV? Am I at risk for thest two incidents?

OK I just copied and pasted this new question sorry about starting a new topic didnt know how it works

Ok I copied my question to my original question, but please note that this is two new incidents and it has nothing to do with the old one, if you need to go ahead and delete this. This is your train I'm just a passenger boss.

I've merged your threads. It's a rule of the site to keep all entries in the same thread. Please don't start a new thread whenever you have another question. Thanks for your cooperation.

The biting incident was not a risk for HIV. As far as when you had intercourse, if the condom had failed you would have known it. It's not about a subtle little hole or anything like that. The whole thing gives and ends up looking like a fringed hoop on your penis. So I don't see any cause for concern about either incident nor any need for testing.

It's good to read that you're using condoms. Way to go! Use one everytime you have intercourse. No exceptions.

Thanks Andy and Thank you Rapid Rod, I have been reading these forums since about 2001, I have been using escorts for that long and I use condoms every single time, I just sometimes let paranoia get the best of me and you are right even the stripper said that the condom didnt break because when I pinched it there was a bubble at the tip, probably the fluid on the condom was her fluids I guess I made her cum hard to believe I can make a hooker cum I'm that good HAHAHA JK no but really trust these guys they know what they are talking about they really are experts at HIV transmission and dont question your test results because being afraid can make you do crazy things and also dont surf the internet, I stopped doing all that and now I can ask a question and walk away satisfied without questioning thier answer because I know the truth about HIV transmission.

So no need for testing right?So in the words of Dr Francisco from the body Whoooooooohooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Hi everyone I have a new question, I had protected sex with an escort and I performed oral sex on her for about 5 minutes and then again in the shower for a couple of minutes am I at risk for HIV I did not use a condom for the oral but I did use a condom when I penetrated her.

OK thank you so much for the quick response, I always appreciate so I guess performing oral on a female without a female condom is not a risk for HIV? Is that correct? Ok Andy I suppose it's time to move forward no risk involved and I thank you for the advice I just wanted to find out if in the future It's okay to perform unprotected oral without worrying about HIV. Thanks

Hi I have a new incident I'm worried about. First I wanted to ask a general question. According to this article I read the new cases in Mexico of HIV are mainly with prostitutes and their clients. It was disturbing for me to read this since I frequent sex workers in Mexico. I always thought it was not who you sleep with that puts you at risk but the risk factors.

Now back to my question. Things are a bit foggy because this happened about two week ago. I had sex with an escort. At first i put a condom on and she gave me oral. I had a hard time getting an erection and once I did the condom was a little small and it was exposing the shaft of my penis. I tried to penetrate her but i lost my erection and she was on her period so there was also blood on the condom. She then gave she then took off the condom and gave me a handjob I got hard again and she put one of her condoms on me and i penetrated her but again the condom was a bit small and the base of my penis was exposed. When I pulled out I noticed there was blood on the condom and on my penis. She acted like it was no big deal but I was pissed. Can you please asses my risk? I was a bit careless this time and I'm worried because i had sex with my two girlfriends and i would not want to infect them.

The important thing is that the head of your penis was covered during intercourse. That is the potentially risky point of entry for HIV, not on the shaft. So all of the details you have thrown in don't matter.

We do advise anyone who is sexually active to regularly have a full STD panel done as other STDs are much easier to acquire than HIV. But as far as HIV is concerned I don't see anything to be concerned about in relation to this latest incident.

thanks for the response Andy i've been coming to these forums since 99 and you've always given me good advice. I was a little concern because at the shaft of me penis I have these brown spots two of them I'm not sure if its genital warts or a birthmark, they're kind of sticking out but they're kind of flat too. They're not painful or bleed they're just there so if I have that is that a point of entry for hiv like a cut? last question andy.

It doesn't matter if they're warts or birthmarks, it doesn't change you no risk situation.

You need to get those spots checked out. If they ARE warts and they're not covered by the condom when you have intercourse, you could give your partner warts.

thanks Ann, I feel better about this and my apologies to the forum for answering aks see before when I posted about 7 years ago(fears of hiv section) it was allowed but I can see why this new rule is in effect. Makes sense.

Lately I've been feeling very stressed. Let me explain...I met this girl and after 3 months of dating we found out she's pregnant. I have been recently deported just paroled from a California Prison in feb. While I was in prison I got several tattoos. I did however make sure I used a brand new needle made from a guitar string and make sure the barrel(a pen) and the ink were new. But how can I be sure? I have also mentioned that since I've been out I have also been with some prostitutes I did use protection.

One last concern... I recently applied for work at this call center called Telvista and they drew blood testing for HIV. They told me they would contact me in a week and never called me back. I called back and the receptionist acted funny. She told me that they got the medical test back and there wasn't any notes saying there was anything wrong with my test. She mentioned if there was anything abnormal with my medical test they would let me know. But when I asked her to give me the contact number she had she gave me the company's number. She told me if I had doubts to go ahead and get tested at a clinic. I know Mexico is different than the U.S but do they have to let me know if I'm HIV positive? Now that I'm expecting the baby I'm really scared. I feel like crawling under a rock!

I actually on this forum that this guy applied for the same company and that supposedly when an applicant comes out positive they don't tell them that they make up an excuse such as they failed the psyche test or some other excuse. I know that even in Mexico it's technically illegal to discriminate based on being seropostive for HIV. But I hear they do it alot. I wish I new for sure why I was not hired? because I'm HIV poz? scary!!!

You're not at risk for hiv from the jailhouse tats, but you are at risk for hep C from them. You need to get that checked out.

You haven't been at risk from the protected intercourse, but if you're girl friend is pregnant, I can only assume you haven't been using condoms with her. Unless you've tested for negative for hiv together with her, then you've been at risk from that unprotected intercourse.

I agree with the nurse - if you have doubts, go to a clinic and test. Testing is the only way to accurately know your hiv status.

I wanted to start off on a positive note. Last week I tested negative for Hiv after 3 months.

Unfortunately today I had sex with an escort. She performed Oral without a condom for about 10 min.Then she put a condom on me and we continued oral... then she got on top of me and we had vaginal sex. My girlfriend was in the room watching us and she noticed there was blood on my condom when we switch positions(doggy style). After I finished I noticed there was blood on the condom but the condom remained on the whole time. The escort admitted she was still bleeding from her period. So after we had sex she kissed me on the lips after she had given me oral with a bloody condom. It was messy and I'm nervous. I need to know if I need to get tested in 3 months? please help with advice!!! thank you guys.

thanks andy and rapidrod but I read somewhere that if there is blood it's more infectious than vaginal fluid. I always have a hardtime removing a condom is it better to slip it off or unroll it to prevent Hiv. I actually got scared when I removed the condom. I plulled it off... I did not do it the proper way!

 Anyone who continues to post excessively, questioning a conclusive negative result or no-risk situation, will be subject to a four week Time Out (a temporary ban from the Forums). If you continue to post excessively after one Time Out, you may be given a second Time Out which will last eight weeks. There is no third Time Out - it is a permanent ban. The purpose of a Time Out is to encourage you to seek the face-to-face help we cannot provide on this forum.

As long as the condom was on during intercourse, once you withdraw from the vagina it doesn't matter how you remove the condom. It's having the head of your penis covered during intercourse that matters.

I understand what you guys are saying. I did ask a second question on this last incident. I guess because I've had many encounters It seems like I'm asking the same question but if you read carefully you'll see this was a NEW incident. Ok I won't become a pest so thanks again for all your help I really do appreciate what you guys do for us and I am going to move on with this new incident. Thanks Rod and Andy you guys have a nice week.

And you need to know that you are on the verge of getting a Time Out from the site. You need to get used to applying the information that has been given to you in the past to your new experiences as they occur.

The bottom line is to always wear a condom for vaginal and anal intercourse If you do that you will be well protected against the sexual transmission of HIV. It really is just that simple so don't make the issue more complicated than it actually is.
